Abstrakt: The article presents an abstract of a study "Drug Use in Health and Mental Illness in an Indian Population." It highlights a census survey in the Agra region of India by a well-trained team of psychiatrists to investigate the well known hedonic use of cannabis indica and its effect on the mental health of the population. The use of drugs as intoxicants is said to be universal; however, hedonic use was found to have led to their abuse, which has been suspected as a cause of mental disorder.
